Port Townsend Chamber Music Series – Feb. 7, 2026

The Port Townsend Chamber Music Series performed a benefit concert on Saturday, February 7 at 2 pm at the Port Ludlow Beach Club, 121 Marina View Drive, Port Ludlow.

Donations were gratefully accepted at the door to benefit Chimacum High School’s Cowboy marching band which will represent Washington state at the nation’s Independence Day parade in Washington, D.C. on July 4, 2026.  The band’s booster club must raise approximately $100,000 for the trip to cover travel expenses and new lightweight uniforms for performers. Donations collected at the concert will support that effort.

Donations collected at this concert reached a total of $2220 to support the band.

Robert Nathan, president of the Port Townsend Symphony Orchestra board stated, “Our symphony orchestra’s chamber series team is excited to kick off this fund-raising effort to help support the Chimacum High School marching band. We are proud they were chosen as the only band to represent Washington for this important 250th national birthday celebration. This trip will be a wonderful music and teamwork experience for them.”  

NOTE: Guy Smith was originally scheduled to play lute interludes on this concert, but he became sick and unable to perform. Harpist Barbara McColgan Pastore had her iPad with her and was able to pull up a series of short harp pieces to fill in for Guy. We didn’t give the names of those pieces, but we will list Barb on the program below to capture the reality of what happened at the concert. Thank you, Barb, for that gift of music we all enjoyed.

Port Townsend Symphony Orchestra concert on Dec. 7, 2025, featuring music by Florence Price

Florence Beatrice Price (née Smith; April 9, 1887 – June 3, 1953) was an American classical composer, pianist, organist and music teacher.

Born in Little Rock, Arkansas, Price was educated at the New England Conservatory of Music, and was active in Chicago from 1927 until her death in 1953. Price is noted as the first African-American woman to be recognized as a symphonic composer, and the first to have a composition played by a major orchestra. Price composed over 300 works: four symphonies, four concertos, as well as choral works, art songs, chamber music and music for solo instruments. In 2009, a substantial collection of her works and papers was found in her abandoned summer home.

She gave her first piano performance at the age of four and had her first composition published at the age of 11. According to her daughter, Florence really wanted to be a doctor but felt the difficulties of becoming a woman doctor at the time were too formidable. Instead, she became that even greater rarity—a woman composer of symphonies. (Text from Wikipedia)

PTSO Oct. 26, 2025 concert featuring Sous Chef on piano, modular synthesizer, and sampler

Sous Chef is a French Canadian/American musician/composer raised in Seattle with a music composition degree (with honors) from McGill University. He spent the last decade touring around the US, Canada, Japan & Europe with rum.gold, High Pulp, sunking, dentaru no tsuba, and occasionally solo as sous chef; producing records, composing, and making indie films scores while living between Seattle and BC. His bands have played on KEXP many times, been featured in the New York Times, and two of them are signed to Anti-Records.

Sous Chef has been a long time collaborator of artist Tsubasa Kato and has worked on pieces exhibited all over Japan including the Tokyo City Opera Art Gallery as well as abroad in Hong Kong, Finland, and the US & Canada. Now local (based in his Renton studio he built in 2024), he is exploring a more multimedia-based approach branching out from the purely musical, with aspirations of reaching ever greater means of expression. Based on his use of ancient and highly modern instruments, in conjunction with his deep love of film, his inspiration spans centuries and attempts to blend these seemingly distant and disparate elements together to create something wholly unique.
